 Then load the created ELF file into the simulation via GDB:

 riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb -tui -ex 'set remotetimeout 15' -ex 'target remote :3333' -ex 'load' -ex 'break main' -ex 'continue' main

 Set some more breakpoints and step through the code with 'c' (continue). You will see the UART output in console 1 (vexriscv sim).
